Aurora Rose Reynolds has done it again!
I loved catching him from the beginning of this book! The heroine falling into the hero’s window while venturing for her cat named Mouse! This books provided all the elements I look for in a romance!

3.5 stars! This sweet, enjoyable read by ARR is a great way to spend an afternoon. With an alpha hero and adorable heroine who don't waste time playing games, very little angst, a realistic plot, and a dog who steals the show, this book kept me smiling throughout. I did find the writing style a bit different from what I remembered of ARR's other books that I've read (the Fluke My Life series); it seemed like there was a lot of Leah just retelling her day. As a result, I didn't feel like I was immersed in the story or the characters' lives; I felt like an observer. I enjoyed being that observer, however. Overall, I found the book to be a nice reprieve from the angsty books I often read. The main characters are extremely likeable, and it's impossible to not love them together.

A sincere thank you to NetGalley and Montlake Romance for providing an ARC for review.

I really enjoy Aurora Rose Reynolds’ books and writing style so “Catching Him” was one of my most highly anticipated books of 2019. Sadly, it did not live up to my expectations. This book felt too much like some of Aurora’s other books. I love an alpha male so that was no problem but everything else felt like something I had already read by her. This book follows two neighbors, Leah and Tyler. They meet one morning when Leah opens her door to get her mail and her cat escapes and jumps into Tyler’s open window. Leah then jumps in the window to rescue her cat because she believes the house is vacant... even though there are moving trucks right outside and his truck had been in the driveway for days. Leah felt a little childish to me and whenever Tyler said something alpha male like (ex. “You’re mine now”), Leah’s always responded with things like “Oh my goodness,” “Holy cow” and “Holy moly.” It happened so often it quickly became cringey and annoying. After their awkward meeting, they quickly form a cute friendship that leads to an epic romance. Though this book got on my nerves at points it was still an enjoyable read. I was definitely rooting for the characters to end up together and for the most part enjoyed all the drama with the ex-boyfriend that ensued. Overall, this was an average read. If you’re looking for an easy romance with some drama and an alpha male, I would definitely recommend you pick this one up.

Happy reading!

Aurora Rose Reynolds does it again with a brand new series How to Catch a Alpha! I'm sure this woman writes the absolute best alpha's going. Their all growly and protective and just make your heart skip a beat.
Everytime i read a book from this author i know I'll love it, whether its a Until book or another series its everything to do with the writing and the characters.

Leah and Tyler are amazing, so great together, the relationship between them is hot and sweet and their jokes between each other just seals the package for me.

Leah was cute and funny, she meets Tyler by accident by trying to retrieve her cat from his house.

Tyler is absolutely amazing, i loved him from the very first page i met him, he was the perfect alpha he has the whole 'until boom' alpha vibe going for him.

Seriously this book is so good! You need to grab it when it releases!
I can't wait for more in this series!

I totally loved this sweet, somewhat fluffy alpha romance. There was just the right mix of light hearted drama, comedy and heat. Definitely keen for more of this series, feels a bit like the return to the old school ARR awesomeness!

This is an amazing start to hopefully a new series! Aurora makes you fall in love with the ultimate alpha male and this time was no different! I love the way the titles were written and the way she can write easy banter so well. She has the perfect feel good stories and her stories leave you wanting more!

I love romance books especially insta love. This was an easy to read low drama read. I loved Leah and her introduction to Tyler was great, the story mainly focuses on their relationship and how it develops which is what I love. There is some drama as always but it’s not OTT or too far fetched and it doesn’t overshadow them as a couple. Great feel good read can’t wait for more.

What a beautiful and fun book!

Leah and Tyler's story is such a breath of fresh air. Tyler is such a yummy box of alpha bossiness, wrapped up with a sexy bow. Leah is kind and beautiful. They make for the perfect match. They meet in the most unconventional way.

Full of quirky and laugh out loud moments. The storyline is soaked in passion and love. Such exquisite writing. An absolute joy to read. It will make you feel good and you will fall head over heels for this amazing couple! An absolute MUST READ! I loved every word!

3.9 stars

I am not sure what I was expecting when I started this book. I have always admired this author from afar but despite her books being on my TBR had never really taken the plunge when it came to reading her work. However, this blurb drew me in. The first meet between the characters because of her cat made me laugh. I was hoping that it would continue throughout the story. However, it didn't. There was just something missing there.

I am not sure what it was missing but it felt too perfect despite great characters and adorable animals. There was little to no angst in this story. It was sugary sweet. That being said, it still makes me want to move this author up on my TBR as I can definitely see why she is so popular.

First I love Aurora's words. Leah is sweet smart and a great aunt. Tyler is a caring and protective man. They are neighbors. Tyler makes Leah feel safe and wanted. His mom makes him feel bad about moving away. Tyler doesn't deserve to feel bad about moving away. Tyler loves how Leah cares about people and wants to see the good in everyone. Leah is optimistic and impulsive. Leah catches something beautiful when she catches the guy next doo. This is great start to a new series.

Enjoyed this romance between Leah and Tyler - the best bit being that they didn't play games and communicated with each other. They both seemed lovely people - the only thing I was wondering about was how they got to their 30s without finding someone before! I could really see them being happy together in the long term. Such a relief not to read about a ton of drama and angst which leaves you wondering how the couple will actually get on when they're not high on adrenaline from traumatic events.

There was a little bit of a mystery element, but tbh it was pretty obvious whodunit.

A nice, undemanding romance. I'll add this review to Amazon once it's released.

This is a book to read when you want a down home, feel good romance to read.

Tyler and Leah could be called love at first sight even though they don’t describe themselves that way. Their relationship was very easy, very little drama...I mean there is some it is a ARR book. LOL

This is just a book that makes you feel good and realize there are relationships that can be easy. There are relationships where you truly enjoy every minute with your other half. My husband and myself remind me some of Tyler and Leah. The 8-10 hours away from each other everyday sucks. We love spending time together and hate any trips that take us away from each other because we don’t want to ever sleep away from each other.

This book had me all smiles and laughs! This is a new world she is creating and I’m interested to see how it progresses.

This is a fun read, and if you're a fan of Aurora Rose Reynolds already (or Penny Wylder, Tessa Bailey, etc.) you'll love this!

I love neighbor-turned-romance books, and this didn't disappoint!

i did like this book a lot. It started really funny but it did lose the humour a bit from the middle onward. It was a nice love story starting from friends and turning into lovers.
I absolutely loved the dog and how he got attached to the heroine so fast. The cat's antics were so funny in the beginning and I would have loved to see her a bit more in the rest of the book and not just being told that she likes to hide.
I was not a fan of the "accidents" and I could see who the "bad" guy was from the beginning. I feel like it was just there for the sake of having something bad happening to them and it did not bring anything to the story. However, it was not bad by any means.
One thing I would change is equal dual perspectives, I think the guy only had a few chapters and I would have enjoyed reading from his point of view more, especially in the beginning.
Overall, I enjoyed this book a lot, but then again, I enjoy everything Aurora Rose Reynolds writes.

I knew the first time I read Until November that I would read every installment that followed!!! Well I am thrilled to say that after about 2 chapters into Catching Him, I was positive that I will absolutely be 1-clicking every book that follows in series!!

Catching Him is an addictive novel that centers around Leah and Tyler. Right off the bat, I loved Leah and was excited to see what was in store for her! If you love Aurora Rose Reynolds like I do, you know she’s has mastered the art of writing the alpha male and Tyler is the perfect example of alpha-awesomeness!! The storyline was sassy and steamy, but as per usual with Aurora there is a lot of feels built in! Catching Him is a 4.5 star read that had me swooning!! This is such a fantastic way to start off a series and I’m super excited to read ALL of the future installments in the How to Catch an Alpha series!

One thing I really like about ARR is that she writes insta-love that's not just about the love, and Catching Him is a great start to a new series.

A light, easy read loaded with swoon and tons of really sweet moments, this book reminded me of all the reasons I love this author. It wasn't perfect. There were times that I definitely wanted to throttle Tyler and Leah had a few book throwing moments, but there was enough alpha male goodness to give me butterflies and keep the pages turning. I'm really looking forward to finding out where this series goes next.

This is the first book in the series and it will be interesting to see how it will develop

So Leah and Tyler did not have the most normal of introductions, what with him pointing a gun at her after she had broken into his house (via an open window) to capture her escaped cat... but it set the tone for the book!!

I enjoyed this book, with the humour and enough drama to keep it interesting!

Catching Him by Aurora Rose Reynolds has me all kinds of excited for this new series of hers!

Told in a duel Pov, Leah and Tyler are neighbors who have an addictive, hilarious, passionate, amazing journey to their HEA.

They are easy to love individually and together. Leah is the heroine who you would love to be or have as your best friend. Tyler is the alpha who you love to love-considerate, strong, hot and all man.

There are no games or miscommunications to make you want to throw your device over. This relationship is mature and so enjoyable. Add in secondary characters who are equally lovable and this is the new series to love.

I can't wait for more! Until then, I' Il continue to reread this beauty!
